Almost Faking It
Nina
The sexy, small-town Police Chief Derek Jones is the bane of my existence. He’s stubborn and thinks he knows best. I’m in Marlin Shores to make sure the Hollywood movie I’m a producer on gets made, and he’s not going to stop me. I grew up with a father who wore a uniform and assumed that made him right about everything, I know the type. Still, everyone else in town loves him and he dotes on his adorable twin daughters, so maybe he’s not all bad.
When I learn my father has changed the terms of my trust fund and I have to be married to inherit it, I’m desperate enough to consider a fake relationship with the handsome Chief. We’d be helping each other out temporarily, but what do I do when, for the first time in forever, I finally feel like I’m home?

Lines start to blur, and every day seems more complicated than the rest as we try to stick to our plan.
The question is, can we convince everyone else our relationship is real while reminding ourselves it absolutely isn’t?
